歌词与翻译

[中文]

正当我以为我让他爱上了田纳西州

我就该知道别再带他回阿比林

我把他又放回了她的怀抱

我无法与那样的火花相抗衡

她来自德克萨斯，我能从她的举止中看出来

他正在房间里跳着双人舞

从他脸上的笑容就能判断

我无能为力

不用水晶球就能看清

牛仔总能找到离开的方法

独自一人喝着杰克丹尼

他选择了德克萨斯，我能看出来

我想他已经忘了烟雾缭绕的田纳西雨

那些老汉克唱的歌，孟菲斯的蓝调，我们曾经一起唱

他一直喜欢《阿马里洛的早晨》

我当时就应该意识到这是个预兆

她来自德克萨斯，我能从她的举止中看出来

他正在房间里跳着双人舞

从他脸上的笑容就能判断

我无能为力

不用水晶球就能看清

牛仔总能找到离开的方法

独自一人喝着杰克丹尼

他选择了德克萨斯，我能看出来

当我一路向东，心情低落，忍不住哭泣

因为40号公路每走一英里就更寂寞

我知道他的心永远不会改变

因为他的心仍然属于孤独之星州

她来自德克萨斯，我能从她的举止中看出来

他正在房间里跳着双人舞

从他脸上的笑容就能判断

我无能为力，嗯，是啊

不用水晶球就能看清

牛仔总能找到离开的方法

独自一人喝着杰克丹尼

他选择了德克萨斯，我能看出来，不

独自一人喝着杰克丹尼

他选择了德克萨斯，我能看出来

来吧，宝贝

哦，是的

正当我以为我让他爱上了田纳西州

[英语]

Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee

I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene

I put him right back into her arms

I wasn't a match for that kinda spark

She's from Texas I can tell by the way

He's two steppin' round the room

And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face

There's nothin' I can to do

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

A cowboy always finds a way to leave

Drinkin' Jack all by myself

He's choosin' Texas I can tell

Well, I guess he forgot about the smoky mountain rain

Them old Hank tunes the Memphis blues we used sing

He always loved Amarillo By Morning

I shoulda taken that as warning

She's from Texas I can tell by the way

He's two steppin' round the room

And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face

There's nothin' I can to do

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

A cowboy always finds a way to leave

Drinkin' Jack all by myself

He's choosin' Texas I can tell

When I'm eastbound and down and I can't help but cry

Cause I-40 gets lonelier with every mile

I'll know that his mind wasn't ever gonna change

Cause his heart still belongs to the lone star state

She's from Texas I can tell by the way

He's two steppin' round the room

And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face

There's nothin' I can to do, naw yeah

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

A cowboy always finds a way to leave

Drinkin' Jack all by myself

He's choosing Texas I can tell, no

Drinkin' Jack all by myself

He's choosin' Texas I can tell

C'mon baby

Ohh yeah

Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
